Entertainment Said Reason
For Festival's Popularity
The cultural value of Shake
speare is unquestioned, but the
continued and increasing popu
larity of the annual series of
Shakespeare plays at Ashland is
rot due to moral values. People
return every season, and more
come, because of the real enter
tainment these plays provide.
This opinion was expressed
by Prof. Angus Bowmer, who
inspired the organization of the
Shakespearean Festival associa
tion in 1935, in an address Tues
day before the Medford Rotary
club. Speaking at the Jackson
hotel, Bowmer said that "Ham
let," for example, offers the
same blood and thunder of the
most exciting mystery novels
and movie thrillers, yet those
who see the famous play do not
think primarily of its violence.
Drama Overlooked
It is unfortunate, the speaker
said, that high school studies of
Shakespeare, in which passages
are taken from content for
memorizing and analyzing, usu
ally overlook the rich drama of
human relations and fail to in
spire true appreciation of the
famous plays.
Stage revivals of Shake
speare's works are, however,
bringing new understanding of
timeless excellence of the Bard's
incomparable literary master
pieces, he said. After 350 years,
Shakespeare still entertains
more people than any play
wright in history, Bowmer
stated.
The economic importance of
the fast-growing Festival asso
ciation to this area was empha
sized by Bowmer, who pointed
out that more than $225,000 was
spent here last year in hotels,
motels and other fields by festi
val visitors. With the funds
spent for festival tickets, the as
sociation now has grown into a
quarter-million dollar business
for the Rogue River Valley.
Half from Distance
Fifty per cent of the people
who enjoyed Shakespeare plays
at Ashland last year were from
outside of the valley; $21,000
was spent for tickets which, in
turn, goes into production costs
of the association. With an in
crease of at least 25 per cent
each year in attendance, and 35
per cent in 1951, the festival is
one of southern Oregon's fastest
growing "industries."
Bowmer, who conceived the
Shakespeare revival at Ashland,
has distinguished himself in
many roles through the years. It
is not uncommon for him to un
dertake three roles in one play.
Rotary program Chairman
Otto Ewaldson introduced the
speaker.
Hitch-Hiking Hen
Stops to Lay Egg
Bolton, Mass. (U.R) A black
hen owned by Arthur H. Rock
well hitch-hiked 15 miles to
Worcester, stopping only long
enough to lay an egg on the way.
The hen apparently hid on the
undercarriage of Rockwell's car
when he drove to Clinton and
transferred there to the automo
bile of Hugh A. Reid. It laid an
egg under Reid's car.
The fourth deepest producing
oil well in the United States is
in the Weeks Island Field, La.,
15,148 feet, completed in 1950.

We hear tell that there's a Maharajah or something in Asia who
is paid as much gold as he weighs. No doubt he has money to
burn. But for us more ordinary people money is pretty hard to
come by. That's why savings are so important, because when
money is put info the Jackson County Federal it earns substan
tial dividends. The Maharajah needn't worry about dividends,
but we ordinary folks can't let them get away. We welcome the
good news that comes twice a year . . . when the dividends on
deposits are compounded and put into our account. Don't let
your money go up in smoke. Come on in tomorrow and open a
savings account. Your passbook will be your visual record of
your financial progress.
